A familiar voice sounded, and Wen Rou's face changed. She struggled to turn her stiff neck and looked back.
Sure enough, Gu Xiyan had silently opened the door at so point and was standing at the entrance, with a look that seed to be both smiling and not smiling as she watched them.
The sentence just now was evidently spoken by her.
Upon seeing Gu Xiyan, Wen Rou's face instantly went pale as if she were a mistress caught in the act by the rightful partner.
She gestured helplessly at Gu Xiyan and stamred softly, "Sister Xiyan, I'm sorry, I... I won't disrupt your relationship, I'll leave right now..."
"Fool, it's because your Sister Xiyan doesn't care about these things that she talked to you like that."
Mu Jinyu saw how pitiable Wen Rou looked and couldn't help but remind her helplessly.
"Ah?" Wen Rou heard Mu Jinyu's words and felt a bit confused.
Gu Xiyan doesn't mind?
Then, she carefully thought about what Gu Xiyan had just said, "Xiaorou, what do you an? Am I as petty as you say?"
So her aning was... she wasn't that petty? She would allow her to stay and cohabit with them?
Or perhaps...
She was willing to share Mu Jinyu with her?!
As Wen Rou thought about these things, her pale face couldn't help but gain a flush of red once more.
Mu Jinyu, looking at the changes in Wen Rou's expression and recalling the words she had whispered while resting on his chest, couldn't help but smile bitterly, cursing himself for being such a scoundrel, wondering what virtues or abilities he had to gain the favor of these wonderful won.
He had originally thought that Wen Rou would not accept being with him and Gu Xiyan together.
But from Wen Rou's words just now, it seed she didn't care about these things.
This was a bit strange.
After all, Gu Xiyan had grown up in a large family, and she was quite open-minded about n having more than one woman outside, choosing to turn a blind eye to avoid troubles for herself.
Xu Qingya probably felt the sa way as Gu Xiyan, rather open-minded towards such matters.
But Wen Rou didn't grow up in that type of family environnt; normally, she would not be able to accept such a situation. However, in reality, she seed to be accepting and felt that she could only be satisfied just by standing by and watching him from afar...
Perhaps this had to do with the fact that her parents had separated when she was young, and she had never felt secure?!
However, this was also good, as the problem that had given him such a headache, not knowing how to solve it, seed to resolve itself so neatly.
While Mu Jinyu felt relieved, he also silently reminded himself that he must never let down Wen Rou and the others in the future.
While various thoughts churned through Mu Jinyu's mind.
Gu Xiyan walked over from the entrance with slow steps, glaring fiercely at Mu Jinyu and said softly, "Who told you I didn't mind?"
Having said that, she lifted her foot and stomped hard on Mu Jinyu's foot.
"Hiss!"
Gu Xiyan's stomp didn't cause much pain to Mu Jinyu, but it caused her own foot to hurt.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu could only give Gu Xiyan an apologetic smile.
"Hmph." Gu Xiyan glared at Mu Jinyu again and then took Wen Rou's hand and said softly, "Co on, Sister, let's ignore him. We'll go to our room and talk!"
After that, Gu Xiyan pulled Wen Rou towards their room, limping as they went.
Wen Rou was a bit at a loss, following Gu Xiyan for a few steps, then turned back to look at Mu Jinyu with eyes full of panic.
Mu Jinyu nodded at her to reassure her and to take it easy.
Upon seeing this, Wen Rou mustered the courage, turned her head back again, and entered the room with Gu Xiyan.
"Bang!"
The door was shut.
What private conversations the two won had in the room, Mu Jinyu didn't know.
Mu Jinyu did not attempt to eavesdrop, he slowly sat on the sofa and brewed himself a cup of tea.
Things really turned out to be rather surprising.
However...
He turned his head towards the tightly closed bedroom door and gave a bitter smile.
He had thought revealing the truth to them and facing up to the situation would lead to a happy life, but now it seed he would still have to sleep alone.
It looks like another lonely, sleepless night awaits!
Mu Jinyu chuckled and shook his head, then finished his tea and got up to return to his own room.

He didn't know how much ti had passed when he, half-asleep, suddenly felt soone lift the thin blanket and slip in beside him, wrapping an arm around him.
Mu Jinyu, still in a daze, thought that it must be Gu Xiyan.
Without much thought, sympathizing with Gu Xiyan's state, he just turned and embraced her as well, continuing to sleep.
...
The next day.
Wen Rou woke up early, tightly hugging Mu Jinyu's arm, laying her head to the side to gaze at his profile with a joyful smile on her lips.
Reflecting on last night's conversation with Gu Xiyan, Wen Rou hadn't expected that Gu Xiyan would be able to accept her sharing Mu Jinyu with her.
At first, she was quite shocked, but soon after, naturally, she was happy.
She had thought that if she could stay by Mu Jinyu's side, even if she spent her whole life as his maid, just being able to see him often was satisfaction enough for her.
But she was afraid she wouldn't be able to contain her feelings and might end up ruining their relationship, so she thought about leaving sadly.
However, now she could not only stay but be by Mu Jinyu's side, although with Gu Xiyan. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
After all, wasn't this how they had been living together all along?
And it wasn't like she was unaccustod to it.
After finishing their talk, Gu Xiyan had even encouraged her to co and keep Mu Jinyu company.
But Wen Rou, being shy and timid, didn't dare to go over, fearing it was a test from Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan knew her thoughts and then told Wen Rou that she genuinely couldn't go to accompany Mu Jinyu, or else she wouldn't have asked her to go.
Thinking about Gu Xiyan's recent inconvenience and guessing the reason, Wen Rou grew even more fearful.
In the end, Wen Rou lingered and hesitated for a long ti, figuring that Mu Jinyu must be asleep by now, before she finally went to join him.
Though she was scared last night, there was also a sense of anticipation in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jinyu did not do anything; he just held her, and they quietly slept together.
Just like the first ti they t.
Their night passed without incident, and while Wen Rou was relieved, she also felt a hint of disappointnt. Then she figured that Mu Jinyu must have thought it was Sister Xiyan who ca over, right?
So, out of pity, he hadn't done anything?
Wen Rou lay in Mu Jinyu's arms, lightly nuzzling his chest with her head, feeling a sense of serenity and joy.
She didn't dwell on it too much; just being able to enjoy Mu Jinyu's long-missed warm embrace made her very content.
"Hmm?"
Mu Jinyu had gone to bed early and was about to wake up when he felt Wen Rou's movent and slowly opened his eyes. Turning to look at her, he felt a bit perplexed.
Odd, wasn't it supposed to be Gu Xiyan who, having felt very clingy yesterday, ca over last night?
How did it turn into Wen Rou?
Seeing Mu Jinyu awake, Wen Rou gave him a shy smile and said, "Little Mu, you're up? Are you hungry? I'll go make breakfast for you."
"Yeah, I'm hungry, I want breakfast," Mu Jinyu replied, leaning down.
